Chinese FM calls for non-interference in China's internal affairs

Wang said this when he stressed the Chinese government's position on Hong
Kong's current situation during his meetings with U.S. leaders at the White
House and the State Department.

"This is also a basic principle governing international relations," the Chinese
minister said.

The illegal "Occupy Central" movement started off early Sunday morning at
the Government Headquarters in Admiralty in downtown Hong Kong, followed
by mass protests in Central, Causeway Bay and Mongkok, leading to serious
traffic disruptions and school closures.

"I believe for any country, for any society, no one will allow those illegal acts
that violate public order," Wang said.

"We believe that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's government
has the capability to properly handle the current situation in accordance with
the law," he added.
